The Nigerian brothers who’ve told cops that “Empire” star Jussie Smollett paid them to stage a racist and homophobic attack on him were escorted into the grand jury offices of a Chicago courthouse on Wednesday afternoon.

Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo were surrounded by about a half-dozen people in civilian clothing as they walked into the secure area of the Leighton Criminal Court Building around 3:45 p.m. local time.
